What runs smoother? Froyo on SD or AutoNooter?

I'm buying a Nook today and going to root it and make it an Android tablet but there's sooooo many threads out there about this (and being updated every second), so I just wanted to know the basic - which is faster? :)

I don't like a choppy, sluggish OS... :-p
[Nook Color General] aposva:
Root it now. It is not much of a big deal anyway. You can return to stock in minutes if you like. I don't think that we have to wait for something better from B & N, even if they update to 2.2 (i don't think they would...). They don't want to sell a tablet but an e-reader with some extra capability( and they did it well), you can read your books, surf the net, listen to music, play videos.

Hi i just have an evo i know i have to root it first i'm going with universal root v2.3, but after that what to do, i want to try another rom maybe a better one or if there are any gingerbread release out there. Please help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechniShawn:
Read up on Rooting so you know what it is going on and the risks involved. I would suggest using UnRevoked 3 for rooting. It is fast and painless. http://unrevoked.com/recovery/

Once Rooted download ROM Manager from the Marketplace and then use it to install the alternate recovery from Amon RA. I wouldn't suggest using clockwork recovery on our EVO's from other threads I have read.

Once you have a recovery image installed you will want to take a nandroid backup of your phone just in case.

You are going to have to read the FAQ and Wiki on installing custom ROMS. There are a multitude of choices when it comes to installing a new ROM.

Some like to be as close to AOSP and the cutting edge as possible but you sacrifice 100% full functionality of your phone as well as minor bugs. These ROMS are plenty stable enough to use a daily driver.

Some like Sprint and HTC Sense look and feel and are happy staying with the current release of Android that Sprint and HTC are using. I happen to prefer this for now and I am using Koni's Elite Series II on my phone and love it.

You can find ROMS that contain features that contain a combination of both the above scenarios. It's up to you what you like.

Look at the pictures, read the features and bug lists and then if you have a problem you can either search the forum or ask in the ROM thread.

Hope this helps!

So this unrevoked3 is better, and what about unlock nand i see some treads they talk about that, this unrevoked unlock nand.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentphantom:
unrevoked is all you need and your phone will be set free into the world of root and custom roms. good luck!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcp85:
Guys I see that unrevoked3 won't work with new evo's, what that means?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CruzECO13:
I recommend the link above. That method is much quicker and fully compatible.

It has a video walk through as well and in 15-20 minutes you will be done with root, amon recovery and s-off ready to flash roms or w/e you want.

As for a Gingerbread rom i recommend CM7.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcp85:

Hey guys. you may remember my thread with a list of most custom roms for the hero. well, i had some free time the last few days and got bored so i made this homepage

www.hrdb.tk

It's a improved version of the thread. i also added a board, so you can discuss about the stuff and tell me about new stuff i don't now and that should be added to the lists.

i'm not sure if you like / need such a page but i had no idea what to do with my free time :D

i hope you like my idea.

(there are some roms missing like vanillaeclair, maybe some of you guys have this rom on your pcs and can send me this. just write me a pm. thank you)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ian_4614:
great, registering now,,thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iPasta:
i'm sorry about that. i wrote you a pm.

if any developer don't want his rom listed on my homepage write me a pm and i will remove it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iPasta:
#push ;) i noticed many people don't know about my rom overview so i thougt this maybe still helpfull.

it would be great if you guys write your experience in the comments of the roms. this will help other users to find the best rom :)

Does anyone know if there is a SD Card runnable image of CM7 for the Nook? I don't want to root my Nook instead I am running the SD Card image OS at boot. I am currently running Honeycomb and while I like it I wanted to try CM7 before I get settled on a base ROM. that said does anyone know if one is available or how I could go about setting one up on my SD card?

Thanks,

Can someone explain this phantom call issue with the uber z rom?

What is it? Places outbound calls without your knowledge?

When does it happen?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Its random; inherent in all Z-based ROMs
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NilsP:
Phantom is not actually the right word for it. What it actually is, is a dropped call. Not dropped in the sense of a completely dropped call. It drops for a couple of seconds and comes back. Very infrequent by the way.

Anybody know what happened to Walking Hotspot (walkinghotspot.com)?

My walking hotspot software failed to authenticate off of their server. When going to their web site, it is not available. When calling the parent company Tap Root System, a recording indicated the number is disconnected. Wouldn't be a problem but the Walking Hotspot software is basically useless if it cannot authenticate of their server everytime you start it.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] art3mis-nyc:
Let's say for the hypothetical..

You're using your atrix normally(no root or custom stuff) and developing your own app, you "test" it on your phone and the phone becomes unresonspive and hangs at the moto dualcore logo.

If you took that in to an ATT store or called them, how would THEY restore it to it's original stock shape? or would they just take yours send it away or just in-store swap it for a working one?

actually curious...

on the epic we ended up getting thier Odin program that just flashes the new rom over the old as an internal tool. Wondering if the same sorta thing exists, or if DDing a "hacked" copy over the bootloader block would work? is the signing and locking that it does out of our reach as its an actual hardware check? or does the bootloader stage 1 actually do the checking.. (sorta like how grub loads then the OS loads.)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2015Ducatimulti:
I would think they would just swap it out for a new phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderpack:
RSD/Recovery mode not options?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] art3mis-nyc:
for sake of discussion lets pretend both ways.

ie. does the atrix have the ability via either of those modes to return it to full untampered stock?

OR if it doesnt, is ther a tool that an ATT tech could use to raw write to the partitions like you would raw write a dvd or "burn an sdcard" to use the nook terms.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rred:
Reboot while holding down the volume key, and there's a restore option.

Actually many options if you press VOL- key, pressing VOL+ selects one and runs it. (Is there a FAQ someplace that explains what they all are?)

If it isn't that easy, AT&T typically will give you a refurb (they may only have new phones right now<G>) and tell you to have a nice day.
[G Tablet General] mcgrewster:
greetings,

I have a new GTablet, started with Tap UI version 1.0-2763. email began stopping, so installed clockworkMod Recovery, did backup, installed update.zip, which turned out to be Tap UI v 1.1-3588. email and more stops, so no help. Also, new problem -- even though System Storage sees \sdcard2, the photo, music and video apps don't see the card. So:

1. how can system be cleaned up to prevent app stopping?

2. how to get the apps to include \sdcard2? (Answer: do a Factory Data Reset)

Thank you

Hello everyone.

I have been working on flashing a custom rom to a rooted HTC Hero GSM.

I flashed a ROM and then rebooted phone, expecting it to start up. The custom start logo came up, and then nothing happend for very long time (more than 30 mins) I ended up pulling out the battery and trying with a vanilla Cyanogen. Then the Cyanogen logo came up, but same thing happend.

Is it normal that the first boot time is so long? Or have i done anything wrong?

I've been missing this. Coming from using the N1,

their forum has a radio thread of all zips.

No disrespect to the other thread, I appreciate his hard work too but, I've always felt

why not make this uber easy for even noobs to be able to flash radios back and fourth.

This makes it a lot safer. This really should get stickied.

I can't find one with reliable speeds :( or anything over 1700 kb/s. Before flashing a radio I was getting 5 mb/s and it was stable.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderteaser:
Hello, guys! :)

I guess most of you know about this "magic patch" that significantly boosts Linux speed. It's going to be merged in the 2.6.38 branch and it's shipping with Ubuntu Natty too. But this kernel patch can be applied to a previous kernel as well, just rebuilding it with this 224 magical lines of code.

What I wanted to know is if it's possibile to rebuild our kernels with this patch, if it is already, or if it's possibile but won't have significant boosts on Android devices.

You may read more about this on Phoronix. On the 2nd page there are video demos for lazy ones!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderteaser:
Thank you, but can you please link the thread with this discussion? I can't seem to find it. Also, this patch regards CPU, not hard disks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaXo64:
this patch will be officially introduced in the 2.6.38 kernel..

also, this kernel will have about 50% more speed increase, due to the 200 lines patch and another issue resolved after it .. in general the upcoming kernel will be blazingly fast !!

there is a script that tries to do the same as the patch for earlier kernels. which I use on my Ubuntu laptop, and yes major performance increase !!

I tried to apply it to my previous phone (HTC Hero), but didn't work. I also asked Cyanogen on his twitter, but didn't care to give me an answer..

finally I gave up, and decided to wait for the next Android version that will have the 2.6.38 in the future..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderteaser:
I'm using that script too on Maverick! I don't think there should be a significant increase in responsiveness if you apply it on high-end systems, but our SGS might benefit from it (as my old dual core system).

You say it didn't work on your Hero, but were there any errors in dmesg or you didn't find any significant change in speed?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaXo64:
dmesg should no difference. the script just showed a lot of errors.

I tried the "non-Ubuntu" version as described in Webupd8, but still similar errors.

I guess Android place the kernel differently from Linux desktops.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dupel:
I might be mistaken, but SO kernel uses its. And haven't really noticed any difference with or without it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
please don't spread incorrect facts:

* the "automated per tty task groups" (or autogroup) patch - by using cgroups (in CFS - the cpu scheduler) and thus isolating several taks from each other, giving them dedicated slices of cpu power - allows the system to be more responsive under load if there is a kind of cpu hog (task producing much load)

* the speed increase is due to Nick Piggin's VFS changes and Andrea Arcangeli & Mel Gorman's Transparent Hugepages (THP) support (and of course lots of other changes)

that's correct: - "sched patch : automated per tty task groups (system more smooth and responsive) (v3(since 4_3) and v4(since 4_4))"

so you tried SO kernel with the patch applied and once reverted ? :D

but - yeah, I got you: I'm myself running a heavy patched 2.6.37 kernel with transparent hugepages, CFS autogroup, etc. enabled - and it certainly can play off its advantage most noticably during heavy system load
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderteaser:
So, please, correct my noobiness, isn't Android using TTY shells? If it's not than I understand why this patch can't be applied, but if it is, rebuilding a kernel with just 200 lines more is no big deal and we all could benefit from it. It's not very common for Android to be under heavy load but hey, it's going to be default in 2.6.38, so why not?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Protocamlann:
There is a better patch :

blog.internetnews.com/skerner/2010/11/forget-200-lines-red-hat-speed.html

But I don't know if android uses shells.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderteaser:
Yes, that's exactly the script I was talking about a few posts ago. On my system running 2.6.35, I did not rebuild the kernel with the "patch of wonders" but applied this script. But as you may have read, it acts in userspace which is slightly different in Android (as far as I know it's not using the same environment variables and I don't know about any ~/.bashrc equivalents, but again correct me if I'm wrong), that's why a kernel-oriented patch would be more suitable.
